Filmrecensies van Ulkar Alakbarova

The performance the entire cast delivered was almost like they just showed up on the set for the sake of respect, that should have never been showcased. Also, I guess, it’s hard to blame the cast, as the director Benedict Andrews seems was not sure which way to go with his directing. Recensie

An absolutely stunning film from the start to the end. While the first part of it is more funny and entertaining, the second part becomes more dramatic and sad. Recensie

Before you go to see the film, take the luggage with you to fill it with so many life-changing lessons you can gain from this simply beautiful, uplifting and heart-warming film. Recensie

Despite the good acting, The Birth of a Nation has nothing special to offer. Recensie

Damiene Chazzele is a brilliant filmmaker who invents the fast-track path for you to reach the land he created before you realize it. Recensie

It’s an emotional film, not too dramatic, having a right balance to ensure the viewer won’t lose his focus. And I never did, so, you won’t either. Recensie

At the end of the day, the great risk taken by the filmmaker to direct such a expensive production, and no doubt he did succeed at that. Recensie

Jarmusch’s Paterson is more like an impactful poetry written by the one who created the life. The color, production design, even the cinematography is intact helping Paterson to express itself as a motion picture. Recensie

Don’t get me wrong, it’s of course heartbreaking to know when a family member keeps secret something that could have changed the course of a family’s history. But that story, unfortunately, does not hit the heart or anyone’s soul due to many directions the filmmaker tried to take, but failed to reach any of them. Recensie

Half a Man brings another fact from real life, when happiness can quickly turn into disappointment, when it’s not life, but the size and shape and well being of a person is what for some matters most. Recensie

After Love is a wonderful drama movie to watch. Everything goes so smoothly in the movie that you don’t even feel the time that passes by quickly. Recensie

Le Ciel Flamand is a devastatingly powerful drama that not everyone can watch to its conclusion. Recensie

Graduation is cleverly written and directed by Cristian Mungiu who captures brilliantly a complex issue with delicate approach. Recensie

Everything is outstanding about Bercot’s film. The character development, the pace, the dramatic soundtrack that shapes the required atmosphere to experience the real battle of Frachon with Servier’s representatives. Recensie

Actors do an amazing job in portraying the characters while the scene when Lady Hideko reads erotic book with describing every detail is surely something worth seeing many times. The camera work is pure and unquestionable as it does what it should to bring to life what had been envisioned by the master of sublime cinema. Recensie

Toni Erdman captures both, Ines and Winfried’s relationship in a way that you will realize, if this is not worth living, what else can then be? Recensie

Manchester by the Sea is an emotionally overwhelming film that’s impossible to watch without a heavy heart. Casey Affleck’s breakthrough performance as Lee Chandler is, in a way, shocking and joyful experience. Recensie

The loss of space and time is what fascinates most in this film – which we must thank both actresses for in their seamless portrayal of Julieta in two different stages of life. Recensie

Isabelle Huppert brings the best of Michèle Leblanc you could possibly imagine. Recensie

The Unknown Girl is a powerful drama that, once again brings us the life of ordinary people, life-changing mistakes they made, naturalistic scenes and the dreadful consequences of what we don’t do when we had to. Recensie

Marija is a decent drama from Michal Koch, who offers a delicate subject matter of a single woman in Dortmund, and how she tries to cope with the troubles her daily life brings. Recensie

Even the production, costumes, and cinematography is quite outstanding and literally transports you to 1944 when Florence Jenkins hit the Carnegie Hall. The script written by Nicholas Martin is unquestionably perfect. Recensie
